Road Work

Some jobs are just too big to be done by a couple of people. Sooooo, we rounded up a crew of energetic teens from Sahel Academy, along with their youth leader and the orphanage children to repair the road in front of the CSEN Orphanage.





It was a 2 week project as we could only work for about 1 1/2 hours on a given day.

But with some good old heave hoe, strong backs and a few laughs on the job, the broken rock, and latarite were put in place.

Holes were filled and a car could once again pass on the road.

We are grateful for ways to reach out -
with our hands and practically help with day to day needs. This was a need not only for the orphanage personally, but it touched the lives of their neighbors as well.

We are thankful that these opportunities bring the community teens & our children together,
so that they work shoulder to shoulder with the children of Niger.

There are many practical ways that CSEN can use help. If you are not able to come and serve, maybe you would be able to give. Gifts can be contributed through Maxwell Ministries.
